Lanthanide MOFs constructed based on a difunctional ligand with bimodal emission and Eu3+ doped Dy3+ materials: white emission and color tuning

摘要

Based on azabicyclo ligands, four 3D supramolecular lanthanide complexes have been synthesized through hydro(solvo) thermal reactions, generally formulated as[Dy(bipy) (NO3)(3)](2)(1 center dot Dy),[Dy(bipy)(2)(NO3)(3)] (2 center dot Dy), [Dy-2(bpdc)(3)(DMF)(H2O)](2)center dot(DMF)(10)(H2O) (3 center dot Dy) and[Eu-4(bpdc)(6)(CH3NH2)(3)(DMSO)(H2O)] (4 center dot Eu) (Bipy = 2,2'-bipyridine; H(2)bpdc = 2,2'-bipyridine-5,5'-dicarboxylic acid, DMF = N, N-dimethylformamide), and structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, IR spectroscopy, elemental analysis and powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD). There are three kinds of hydrogen bonding, C2-H2A center dot center dot center dot O6, C4-H4A center dot center dot center dot O4 and C8-H8A center dot center dot center dot O8 along the a/c, b, c axis, respectively in complex 1 center dot Dy. They connect the 1 center dot Dy complex into a 3D 6-connected pcu supramolecular network. 2 center dot Dy is connected into a 3D network with 8-connected bcu architecture by two kinds of hydrogen bonding: C2-H2A center dot center dot center dot O1 and C9-H9A center dot center dot center dot O3. In order to connect the polymer to form a 3D complex, H(2)bpdc has been chosen in the synthesis and design of the crystal. In the network of 3 center dot Dy, two kinds of Dy(III) cations in different coordination models construct the different binuclear[Dy2O14(DMF)(2)] and[Dy2O12(H2O)(2)], and further form the (4,4,6)-connected 3D architecture. The isostructural complex 4 center dot Eu has been synthesised simultaneously. The property of luminescence in solid state or different solvents of the four complexes has been studied in detail. The four complexes show the unique emission peaks of lanthanide cations. Futhermore, in 3 center dot Dy and 4 center dot Eu, the ligand shows a rare bimodal emission, which can sensitize the emission of europium cations as an "antenna effect", and the shorter one keeps its blue emission though coordinated with Dy(III) cations. Based on the synthesis of green or red color materials, multicolored photoluminescence tuning has been studied in detail through growth of a series of bimetallic complexes, the crystal formula as[Dy2nEu'(2-2n)(bpdc)(3)(DMF)(H2O)](M-1-M-9; 0 < n < 1). We achieved dichromatic fine-tuning among the triangle region of red, green and white. The linear dependence of the emissions has been analyzed, and the mathematical matrix model is useful to calculate the ratio and excitation wavelength for a given color in need.
